More About the Shared Street Project

Temporary bump-out installed as part of the Shared Street Project

A shared street prioritizes pedestrians and bicyclists, while also allowing motor vehicles at slower speeds. The goal for this temporary project is to test ways to make E 29th Street better and safer and to encourage walking and biking. The demonstration will be removed on October 15th.

To comment on the test improvements, please call 311 or e-mail woonerf@midtowngreenway.org.
